While operating with 3 Sqdn in Afghanistan, this Harrier was badly damaged by debris during a rocket attack on Kandahar airbase. It was returned to the UK for repair assessment and was deemed to be damaged beyond economic repair, so in 2008 was allocated for ground instructional use at RAF Cottesmore. With the withdrawal of the Harrier fleet in December 2010 it was restored externally and, in April 2011, was placed on the gate at RAF Wittering.
